A better chance for showers and thunderstorms tomorrow and Thursday

A dip in the jet stream is working through the mid-west. This is exactly what we need to get relief from the heat and humidity. Also, a cold front that has less hot air and less humid air behind it will arrive on Friday with northern New England feeling most of the benefit. We'll see dew point temperatures come down to bearable levels, low to mid 60s Friday and Saturday before heading up again.

Our highs will sit in the low to mid 80s to start the weekend. In any case, we're moving in the right direction. Until then, keep the umbrella handy for showers and storms Wednesday and Thursday.
